While Scrat’s misadventures prove to be nothing more than an exercise in flexing the fast-motion animation muscles of Blue Sky Studios, other sequences, like the impressive introduction of Buck, who seamlessly jumps and flies around the air as fast as a lightning bolt in his rescue of a dino egg from the Dromaeosaurs’ hungry mouths, actually proves to be rather impressive.

Scrat’s foibles are like Looney Tunes on speed, but without the cosmic irony (no pun intended) that grounded the original cartoon series within its own tragicomic pathos. In this instance, space-specific obstacles like gravity, lack of oxygen and nefarious blast doors get in his way. Not that Collision Course lacks mindless shenanigans, of course, because every Ice Age film begins with the lightning-fast kineticism of Scrat’s escapades as he tries to save his prized acorn from whatever that ails him. It’s worth noting that Buck’s scheme requires a fairly comprehensive explanation of electromagnetism that educational component – featuring a strange cameo from Neil deGrasse Tyson – should ease any parents’ concerns their children are watching nothing more than a fatuous, fast-paced physical comedy. The science behind Buck’s plan is of course nothing more than mumbo jumbo, but what with this being a kid’s film and all, the logic is neither here nor there. Meanwhile, they must also ward off a bullyish family of Dromaeosaurs (voiced by Nick Offerman, Stephanie Beatriz and Max Greenfield) who are angry with Buck for stealing their food. They discover the space rocks have electromagnetic properties, meaning if they launch the landed rocks from a volcano, it will attract the larger asteroid away from Earth. When the Herd realizes the fatal danger presented by the asteroid, a new character arrives to save the day: the highly intelligent and mercurial weasel, Buck (Simon Pegg), who hatches a scheme to divert the massive asteroid away from hitting Earth.

In typical masculine fashion, Manny projects his negativity onto Peaches’ goofy but affable fiancé Julian (Adam DeVine). Handout/Foxīack at home, Manny fails to deal with his overprotective fatherly instincts as his daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer) prepares to leave the nest. He inadvertently hurls space rocks towards Earth, including a massive asteroid that could prove catastrophic.

In Collision Course, Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel (Chris Wedge) manages to launch himself into space via a Star Trek-like spaceship (don’t bother asking how that’s possible).
